covers. She was in Myles’s bed. At his insistence. Of course, she was alone, because it wasn’t like that.
    Alone.
    Where was Jenny? A brief moment of panic gripped her until she realized her sister must’ve already gotten up. The girl never slept in. Breena would sleep until lunchtime if grown-up responsibilities would just do the decent thing and stop getting in the way.
    Taking a deep breath, she pushed back the covers and swung her legs over the edge. A chill nipped at her and she grabbed her sweater from the closet doorknob.
    Breena walked into the kitchen and found her sister wrestling with a jar. “Hey, short stuff, whatchya doin’?”  
    “Myles made us biscuits and gravy.”
    Her stomach howled indignantly and she had to muffle a groan. If it wouldn’t freak her sister out, Breena would throw herself on the table and start shoving food in her mouth. She probably should keep it together for Jenny’s sake. “Nice.” Breena nodded her approval and stood, hands digging into her hips, watching her sister.
    “Yup.” Jenny turned the lid of the jelly but it didn’t budge.
    “Give it.” Breena motioned.
    Pop!
    Breena got a spoon out the drawer by the stove and handed it to her sister.
    “I like Myles.” Jenny slathered one of her biscuits in jelly. “Know what I mean, kidney bean?”
    Breena delivered her line. “Sure do, bugaboo.”
    She giggled. “He likes you, too.”
    “Oh really?” A rush of heat spread through Breena like wildfire, taking the edge off the ice in her bones.
    “Yeah.” Jenny bit into her jelly biscuit, talking with her mouth full. “Asked.” C homp . “Lots.” C homp. “Questions.” C homp. Chomp .
    Breena poured a glass of orange juice then broke apart her biscuit and drenched it in gravy. Coffee wasn’t her thing, unless it was super sugary, but she loved it in red-eye gravy. Probably her favorite way to eat a biscuit. “Like what?” Breena chowed down like she’d never seen food before.
    “Like favorite foods and college and stuff.” Jenny shrugged, munching on her third biscuit since Breena had sat down. No telling how many she’d eaten already. Good thing Jenny had a seriously high metabolism. Unlike Breena who, with all the snacking she’d done lately, was starting to feel a tightness in the waistline of her pants.
    “He was being nice.”
    “Nah, his glow gets all bright and squirrelly when he sees you.”
    Breena froze. “What glow?”
    “Like your blue one, only red.”

    “My blue one?” Breena tilted her head and arched a brow in Jenny’s direction.
    “Yup.”
    Breena watched her hand for signs of light as she sneaked another biscuit. No blue. “Do you see it now?”
    “Nope.”
    “Okay, Jen, when did you see it?”
    Jenny puckered her lips, squinted, and her little cheeks turned candy apple red. Breena knew Jenny didn’t like to be called Jen, though it was even worse when Breena used her full name.
    “I’m not lying.” Jenny heaved out a breath through her nose.
    “I didn’t say you were.”
    “Yes, you did.”
    “No I didn–” Ugh. Breena was supposed to be the mature one. “I’m not arguing with you, Jenny.”
    The pout subsided for the moment. Jenny crossed her legs Indian-style on the dining room chair and twirled her hair around her finger, making a nice nest of knots for Breena to comb out later. “The night... When Stan...”
    “That’s when I glowed?”
    “Yeah.”
    Holy hell.
    Breena had seen the blue light too. Hadn’t she? But that was just crazy, right? A person couldn’t shoot light from their hands. And glowing…Well, there were people who could read auras and stuff. Breena had never bought into that mumbo-jumbo, though.
    What am I thinking?
    Jenny was a seven-year-old girl with an overactive imagination. Of course she’d be talking about stuff like this.
    “Hold your horses. Myles glows too?”
    Jenny went back to chugging her orange juice. “Yup. Red.”
    Geez, everyone was turning
